Now Felger and Gresh will have Brady and Branch both holding out for more money while the Pats play "hardball" in their typical cold and heartless manner.Drewwho said:I read in the Globe that Brady missed a mandatory passing camp for veterans this week.

Anyone else hear this!?!? Seems strange for Brady!

* A veteran passing camp, which is classified as an NFL organized team activity (OTA), is scheduled for next week. NFL teams are allowed up to 14 days of OTAs, which are voluntary for players.
Still... it seems very unusual for Brady, doesn't it? We've heard all about his extra and early work at Gillette citing avoiding a repeat of last years results as a motivation.BelichickFan said:No it wasn't mandatory. I wish people would get their facts straight before posting sh!t.
T-ShirtDynasty said:Am I totally insane thinking that this could be Brady being a good team player, sitting out of the voluntary camp to devalue Branch's hold out, or make it seem like it's not a big deal? Brady 'running' passing camp and thowing balls to every reciever on the roster except for his #1 is kind of a big deal, no? Less of a big deal if he's not there either?
Yep it probably went something like :patsox23 said:You're insane, yes. But most of the time you're a good poster so we'll let it slide. Brady is out because he's out. I don't think it matters. Maybe this gives Cassel a lot more reps, gives them a chance to see Mortenson and Bramlet. I would read NOTHING into it beyond that - certainly not any kind of temper for Branch's crappy little "statement."

Bostonian1962 said:I agree with Patsox, you're usually a good poster. Cripes. Brady is out because he had the chance of a lifetime to meet two ex-Presidents. I think I might have missed a June non-mandatory passing camp. He also is coming off sports hernia surgery. Come on people. Chill! (I say with respect and no malice).

Okay, okay.... so I lost my mind for a moment. But come on! "Chance of a lifetime"? Those two duffers probably have Brady on speed dial and he probably dodges half their calls.Bostonian1962 said:I agree with Patsox, you're usually a good poster. Cripes.

He also did a stint for the MAKE-A-WISH foundation. I saw it on NFL Network.BelichickFan said:Yep it probably went something like :
Brady "Hey Bill, is it OK if I play golf next week ?"
Belichick "Sure, get yourself ready for the mandatory camp the following week".
